NEWARK - One person has been flown to a Columbus hospital after a morning crash on North 21st Street.

One person, whose identity is not known, was transported by helicopter to a hospital in Columbus after a two vehicle crash occurred at the intersection of North 21st and Shields streets at about 7:30 a.m., said Newark Police Sgt. Clint Eskins.
